1) scaling misinformation campaigns got easy with GenAI - AI lowering the skills needed to do it (example: https://freshvanroot.com/blog/artificial-intelligence-misinformation-campaigns-case-study/)
2) social media platforms detecting AI gen content.. the cat and mouse game will continue forever potentially!?
